The oncequestioned "domino theory" seems to be proving out. The Vietnamese Communists plan. after conquering Cambodia and Laos. to "liberate" Thailand. Nguyen Tuong Lais family and friends were lucky. After nearly a week at sea in their small boat. they arrived at a refugee camp on Bidong Island. Malaysia. Lai was given a job helping to question other former Communist soldiers and political cadre members. who continue to arrive in the Bidong camp. For two years. the family waited to emigrate. Today. in a small town in the mountains of Switzerland. Lai is learning the local language and how to drive a car.
